My 2.5 year old could have watched the bees come and go from the hive for hours. I finally had to tear him away because I wanted to hold the tarantula. Butterfly Pavilion covers many invertebrates, not just butterflies. They have a creepy crawly room, sea creatures like an octopus and sea stars you can touch. We didn't even get to all the rooms during our 2 hour visit. We got a membership since we aren't far away and it's a good pop-in entertainment for young ones. They recommended if you are coming individually that you come after noon because the school groups come in the morning. There was a group while we were there but we were able to avoid the large group for most of the time except in the butterfly house itself. Check online schedule before you go for specific events like story time.
